Board approves creation of public information officer position and salary range
Summary
The board approved creating a public information officer position with a salary range of $67,600–$93,600, froze the fire communications manager position effective July 17, 2026, and updated deputy fire chief salary ranges; the action was tied to the upcoming retirement of Adam Mayberry.
The Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District board voted unanimously on April 1 to create a public information officer position and to freeze the existing fire communications manager position effective July 17, 2026.
Chief Edwards presented the recommendation and said the change is part of a staffing transition related to Adam Mayberry's retirement. The new job specification lists a hiring range of $67,600 to $93,600 with an estimated hire date of June 15, 2026. The board also reviewed corrected salary ranges for the deputy fire chief position.
Commissioners discussed whether the freeze of the communications manager role is an ongoing status or a temporary measure; Chief Edwards said the freeze is in perpetuity. The motion to approve the job specification, benefits and salary ranges passed unanimously.
The board did not discuss a specific recruitment timeline beyond the proposed hire date; staff will proceed with the job specification and recruitment steps consistent with the board's approval.
